Lake George lies in Warren County, New York, close to the border of Vermont. Spring-fed, the lake extends 32 miles north to south and is between one and three miles wide. Four campgrounds cluster around the lake's southeastern tip but only one is directly on the lake. The remainder of the eastern side of Lake George remains largely untouched by commercial ventures and public lodging options.

Ledgeview RV Park

Ledgeview RV Park offers a secure, family-friendly camping option with gated access and amenities that all ages can enjoy. All campsites include water, sewer, electrical and cable TV hookups, with options for daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal stays. While not on the banks of Lake George, the campground is a four mile trip away. Rent a fun cycle -- a low-to-the-ground three-wheeled bicycle alternative -- to spin around the property, or escape a rainy day in the recreation hall with arcade games, billiards and pingpong. Other property amenities include shuffleboard and bocce courts, playground, horse shoe pits, camp store and swimming pool.

Guests also have access to wireless Internet, laundry facilities, swimming pool and a bike path to town.

Lake George RV Resort

The resort also includes a movie theater, arcade, fishing pond, paddle boat rentals, fitness center and a variety of sports courts.

Lake George Battleground Campground
